This character was actually based around a character my best buddy used to play in FFXI. He has been aged up since then, but he still retains is charming personality. This redesign just fell into place, one of those times when you just nail it. He has a wyvern mount on which he rides into battle. I'm quite fond of the idea of his gun spear, it has a squeeze plate instead of a trigger to allow for easier single hand firing from dragonback.

Great to see your character design progress from the previous years to now. Definitely an improvement. Presentation is very organized, the gradient makes is wise choice to compliment the lineart from start to finish. I dig your style. Keep up the great work.

I just have one thing with your recent character designs: they don't really have definitive eyes or facial expressions. Without those, they lose a LOT of character. They seem very lifeless or soulless, like dummies. I think if you gave them some interesting facial expressions and made their eyes more visible they would have more personality, and would come alive in more than just the beautiful design work.

I know fantasy armor is not always functional, but some of the later spines on his cuisses and poleynes on his thighs and knees don't seen conducive to wyvren riding... or moving. I think it'd add a lot to his persona to design his lower raiment closer to some sort of armored riding harness, really highlight the "dragon-rider" aspect visually. Right now I just get a "dragon-slayer" vibe.

Regardless, he's obviously the best character class, and very well done; it's hard to make dragon helms make sense, but his fits very well and does not seem out of place at all.

I understand where you are coming from, but if you'll notice that he doesn't actually have any arm on his thighs. Those are plates hanging from the chest piece with a semi loose strap to keep them hanging over the thighs. I feel these would allow for plenty of leg motion personally.

I like it! I've seen guns worked into edged weapons before, but never specifically with pole-arms. I also like the though you put into the trigger mechanism. That level of thought always seems to help add realism to a piece.

Nevermind, this is probably my favourite of all your designs so far. The combination of wyvern characteristics into his armour are very nice details, and the weapon is simply badass and unique. The subtle bullet strap is also nice, so at least he doesn't pull bullets out of thin air haha. Awesome job man
